Near Pokédex M006 - Charizard

Ever since I first started this Pokédex, one entry people have wanted to see was Charizard. So, I finally did one, and in doing so we now have our first fully completed evolution line (and all in the same gender, too!). When I started I wouldn't have guessed that the Charmander line would be the first one to do this, but that's the way the chips fell.

There's been discussion in the past about whether the larger Pokémon like Charizard would still be on the receiving end in this series, and I hope this pic settles that debate. Followers of my blog should know by now that I have no problem with the physically smaller partner pitching to a larger one (or a weaker person topping a stronger one). I've drawn plenty of pictures like that before, and these are no different. That's not to say I won't ever draw Pokémon topping their partners, but when I do it won't be part of this series.

I might be taking a short break from the Pokédex. I really want to finish some of the "must-do" items on my to do list, namely commissions and the NHML for this month. One of those items should be going up tomorrow, and hopefully the others won't be far behind.

I know your list/requests for future Near Pokédex entries is probably long at this point, and some of these might have already been suggested, but here's what I think you should do sometime in the future: Beedrill, Sandslash, Nidoking, Diglett (I imagine all his potential would be as a dildo or something, but you never know), Arcanine, Poliwrath, Alakazam, Bellsprout (that mouth's gotta be good for something), Hypno (his real Pokédex entry is creepy enough and full of potential), Lickitung (you know a trainer's gonna love that), any Eeveelution really, Kabutops, Snorlax, and Dragonite. [I just pretty much gave you most of the Gen 1 Pokédex didn't I? Sorry. Maybe just a few then: Arcanine, Bellsprout, Kabutops, and Dragonite.]

Commissions

I am not currently accepting new commissions. Barring extenuating circumstances, I won't open commissions again until after I complete the ones on queue. I am always available to discuss potential future commissions.

Commissions are available at Nearphotison2010@yahoo.com.

Standard rate is $30 for Black & White, $50 for color. Comics get a $10 bulk discount per page (comic must be more than four pages to receive discount).

These prices assume 1-2 characters. Any characters beyond that will cost an extra $10. For example, a two-character color comic would be $35 per page, but the same comic with an extra two characters would cost $55 per page. Exceptions to this rule may be made for background characters not involved in the action. If anything is unclear, I am perfectly willing to discuss the matter with you.

Certain details may cause a price to go up for images, but these will be on a case-by-case basis and up for discussion with the client. I do not accept private commissions. All artwork I draw is for public consumption, and I reserve the right to share any commissioned content at my discretion.
